About Forrest Wernick

A little info

I grew up in the Bay Area of California. I’ve lived throughout the country (California, Colorado, New York) learning and playing music extensively. When I’m not playing saxophone, you can find me rock climbing, drawing, trail running, and training in Muay Thai.

Although this is not nearly everyone I’ve learned from (I apologize if you’re not listed. Let me know and I’ll add you), I feel honored to have spent time with and befriended so many incredible teachers!

About Eric O’Donnell

Some info

Originally from Northeast Ohio, I moved to New York/New Jersey to go to graduate school. In my free time I am usually working out, reading, or training for a marathon.
